    #371 The Greatest BJJ Matches of All Time!

    The greatest BJJ matches of all time… who made the top 10? This isn’t just a list of exciting fights. These are the matches that actually changed jiu jitsu. The ones that shifted the meta, shocked people, or proved something nobody saw coming. I ranked them off four things. How important they were to the sport, the story going into the match, how fun they are to watch, and whether the result flipped expectations. You’ll probably disagree with something on here. Good. That’s kind of the point. From Roger vs Buchecha to Eddie shocking the Gracies, to some newer matches that quietly changed the game, this is the list that tells the story of BJJ. Drop your number one in the comments and tell me what I got wrong. ISAJJ Rash Guards: https://imposedwill.com/collections/i-suck-at-jiu-jitsu-show Jiu-Jitsu for Imbeciles, feat.

    #370 "Sitting Guard is SOFT" | 951-Hot-Take #2

    Guard pulling is SOFT… or is it just smarter? In this Hot Takes Hotline episode of the I Suck at Jiu Jitsu Show, we dive straight into one of the most heated debates in jiu jitsu. Is sitting guard weak, or are people just mad they can’t pass it? The episode kicks off with an all-time caller who works a brutal blue collar job and makes a case that might completely flip how you see guard pulling. If you “sit at work,” you don’t get to complain about someone sitting guard. From there, it only gets more unhinged. We get into whether turtle guard is actually a guard or just a bad habit, why people care way too much about medals that don’t matter, and the ongoing gi vs no gi argument about what’s actually “realistic” in a fight. There’s also a hilarious breakdown of people waiting for you to get tired before asking you to roll, and why that mindset might be holding you back more than helping. Some takes are brutally honest, some are completely ridiculous, and a few might actually change how you train. Along the way, we talk about the difference between technique and strength, how rule sets shape your game, and why most people arguing about jiu jitsu online are missing the bigger picture. At the end of the day, this episode proves one thing. Everyone in jiu jitsu has an opinion, and most of them are insane. Drop your hottest take in the comments, call in to 951 HOT TAKE, and if you see someone sitting guard this week… go pass it. ISAJJ Rash Guards:  Jiu-Jitsu for Imbeciles, feat.

    #369 Learn BJJ 10x Faster | 3-Step System

    This episode is the exact system I used to help students go from white belt to blue belt in months, not years. After 18+ years of training and coaching, I realized something: 👉 Most people are training wrong. 👉 And it’s why they get better WAY slower than they should. So in this episode, I break down the 3-step formula to learn Jiu-Jitsu 10x faster. This is a system I’ve refined over years of coaching and competition. This is the same framework behind “Master Any Position in 6 Weeks”… but simplified so you can apply it immediately.

    #368 You Learned BJJ All Wrong!

    What if everything you’ve been told about “fundamentals” in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is wrong?For years you’ve heard it. Focus on the basics. Master the fundamentals. Drill the same moves over and over. But what if that advice is actually the reason you feel stuck on the mats?In this episode, Josh breaks down the biggest lie in BJJ and explains why there are no fundamental techniques. Jiu Jitsu is not a collection of moves. It is a series of problems that must be solved in real time.You’ll learn why top athletes don’t think in techniques, how to identify the real tasks that win you rounds, and how to stop becoming the victim of a thousand moves. This episode will completely change how you approach training, drilling, and building your own game.If you’ve ever felt like your Jiu Jitsu isn’t clicking, this is the shift you’ve been missing.Watch this before your next training session.Try this in training. Ask yourself what has to happen for you to win a round. Track what happens when you lose. Focus on accomplishing the same task with less strength and less movement every session.New episodes every Thursday. Subscribe if you want to suck less at Jiu Jitsu.

  6. #366 Guard Passing Tier List | I Ranked EVERY GUARD PASS

    #366 Guard Passing Tier List | I Ranked EVERY GUARD PASS

    I ranked every major guard pass in jiu jitsu from useless to essential based on what actually works when you’re trying to pass against good people. In this episode of the I Suck at Jiu Jitsu Show, I break down the best guard passes in grappling using three criteria: risk, finishability, and versatility. If you’ve ever felt stuck inside someone’s guard, constantly getting swept, submitted, or forced into bad decisions just trying to pass, this will help you see things a lot more clearly. This isn’t just a list of flashy passes. I’m talking about what actually holds up in real training and competition. Which passes are worth building your game around, which ones are more situational, and which ones probably aren’t worth your time right now. I cover passes like the knee cut, torreando, leg drag, side smash, leg weave, float pass, tripod pass, body lock pass, long step, over under, double under, single under, X pass, Sao Paulo pass, cross pant grip passing, back step, reverse knee cut, knee staple, surfer pass, hip switch, cross body half guard passing, and more. If you’re newer and trying to figure out where to focus, or you’ve been training for a while and want to tighten up your passing system, this should give you a solid direction. And if you think I got something completely wrong, I want to hear it. Drop your hottest take in the comments. Subscribe for more jiu jitsu breakdowns, seminars, competition insights, and gameplans.
